    Re: Vale always right

    Very sad news. Bulldog fans are a rare breed and it is terrible to hear of the passing of one of our own, especially from the 'woof' community.

    Condolences to AR's friends and family.

    Re: Vale always right

    Hi guys thanks for all the kind messages of support, I am Stephens son.

    The Bulldogs were a huge part of my dads life. Because of him our family are all passionate supporters, and we regularly have a group of 12+ attend games together.

    Dad was a loud, funny and witty guy, particularly at the footy, and usually was the most vocal of our group.

    We were lucky enough to travel as a family to a few games in recent years boasting a 100% win record interstate, with trips to Cairns, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane. This included the 2016 finals series, where we rode the wave and attended every game except for the Perth final, in what was a truly incredible month. I am incredibly glad that he (and we) got to experience the joy and excitement that month brought, and something our entire family got to celebrate together. Travelling up to GWS remains the best decision we have ever made as a family and the 5 minutes immediately after that game were amazing.

    He has always enjoyed posting and reading WOOF as shown by his posting history and was never one to hold back his thoughts. Originally he would sign up to opposition forums after we had beaten them and then, posing as a fellow supporter, would post about how they just weren't as good a side as the Bulldogs and how he wished they could emulate the Bulldogs success. He was always very proud of his forum name (significantly better than my teenage effort) and thought it made his posts that little bit more potent. He was also the owner of several accounts on BigFooty after cracking the shits with the posting there and declaring he was gone, only to come crawling back after the next win. Credit to the posters here that he only needed the one account.

    Thanks for all the kind messages in this thread, it is appreciated by his family, some others of which also post on here (Pickle and wannaknowmore).

    Re: Vale always right

    Gee Soupaman, condolences to you, very sad indeed. I was genuinely shocked when I read Gary's notification post. I always enjoyed reading his posts and as you say, he wasn't scared of holding back. I am pretty sure he posted something for round one and I remember thinking, AR hasn't been around for awhile.

    Re: Vale always right

    Sad to hear , saw him post on here a lot we will miss his opinions and banter.
    Quality writer and seemed a learned man.
    Noticed his posts more than most due to his name being so close to what I always nicknamed my ex "always right " ( my last name being Wright)
    RIP another good bulldog gone to meet EJ and Charlie.

    Re: Vale always right

    Such sad news. Condolences to Soupman and other relatives and friends.

    Will miss Always Right’s insightful and witty posts.

    Perhaps there should be a woof “closest to the pin for b&f” or similar competition post each year with the AR’s avatar/name award in memory of one of the original woofers.

    I loved Always Right POV; as has been previously stated, he was funny, passionate but realistic. I will definitely miss his contributions. My condolences to Soupaman and the family. AR will be in my thoughts.

    Twodogs and I have been discussing a couple of options.
